I was trying to figure out whether ASP.Net is better than PHP. I have been in PHP for some 2 years now and also tried my hands on ASP. Now trying my hands on Asp.Net
PHP’s OO is not the best even if PHP5 has pretty good OO support.
Found these interesting reads in this regard.
Sitepoint Debate
I will be working on .Net from now. Really excited about it. I have worked with VB and ASP but never got to work on .Net
So expect a lot of M$ coverage on this site from now 🙂
Today I was playing with my pet site FoneArena.com
Was figuring out ways of improving the site. And I had not added some highly accessed columns in a table as Indexes.
So i checked out what diff a query was going to make with and without an Index.
consider this simple query :
[code lang=”sql”]
SELECT Distinct col from table ORDER BY col ASC LIMIT 10
[/code]
The above query took 0.0034 seconds to execute
Now how indexing helped me reduce the query time to 0.0009 seconds.
Can you believe that ?
nearly 400% of time saved just by adding an Index.

I am planning to Digital Camera as I currently dont have one. My budget is around 15k Max.
I might go for a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600 or a Nikon Coolpix S6
The Nikon Coolpix attracts me because of the Wi-fi feature. I can easily transfer pics from the cam to my laptop.
Microsoft has announced a Beta version of its blogging client for the PC.
I had no idea of participating the quiz at Blogcamp.in
Vinod GÂ was the quizmaster. He and his team did a great job as usual with the questions.
Prelims was held first . 2 members per team . I teamed up with Sudhir, my senior from School. We made it to the final 6 . I got one more Bag in the process.
The Finals were a bit tough but there were 2 teams who cracked even the hardest ones.
So I am glad we made it to the last 6. I seriously need to get back to quizzing . Its such a
great feeling to quiz.
